| aapko pahale bhii kahii.n dekha hai... | I've seen you somewhere before... |
| raat khwaabo.n me.n beqaraarii me.n | At night, in my dreams, in my restless longing, |
| hosh me.n dilbar ya khumaarii me.n | when in my senses, darling, or while intoxicated, |
| dil mera kahata hai baar baar | my heart tells me again and again: |
| aapko pahale bhii kahii.n dekha hai... | I've seen you somewhere before... |
| raat khwaabo.n me.n beqaraarii me.n | At night, in my dreams, in my restless longing, |
| hosh me.n dilbar ya khumaarii me.n | when in my senses, darling, or while intoxicated, |
| dil mera kahata hai baar baar | my heart tells me again and again: |
| aapko pahale bhii kahii.n dekha hai... | I've seen you somewhere before... |
| pal do pal ka saath hai | Only a moment or two of your company, |
| kahanii kitnii baat hai | and there is so much to say. |
| izahaar kaise karuu.n | How can I declare myself? |
| mai.n tumse anjaan huu.n | I'm a stranger to you. |
| thoRa sa hairaan huu.n | I'm a little taken aback by all this; |
| iqaraar kaise karuu.n | how can I confess? |
| raaho.n me.n Takaraa'e.nge yeh socha na tha | I never thought we'd bump into each other on the streets. |
| ham aise mil jaa'e.nge yeh socha na tha | I never imagined that we would meet like this. |
| yaar yaado.n me.n ya khayaalo.n me.n | Darling, whether in memories or in my imagination, |
| in a.ndhero.n me.n ya ujaalo.n me.n | in these shadows or in the sunlight, |
| dil mera kahata hai baar baar | my heart tells me time and time again, |
| aapko pahale bhii kahii.n dekha hai... | I have seen you somewhere before... |
| sapno.n kii baaraat me.n | In a procession of dreams, |
| pahalii mulaaqaat me.n | in our first meeting, |
| diiwaana mai.n ban gaya | I became a madman. |
| in afsaano.n kii qasam | I swear by these visions, |
| saarii duniya se sanam begaana mai.n ban gaya | I've become a stranger to the whole world. |
| kya haal hai mera tumse mai.n kaise kahuu.n | How can I tell you what sort of state I'm in? |
| lekin yeh bhii mushkil hai chup kaise rahuu.n |
But this is also difficult; how can I remain silent? |
| ra.ng e mahafil me.n ya ki mele me.n | In a splendid gathering or at a common fair, |
| bhiiR me.n jaanam ya akele me.n | in a crowd or in solitude, |
| haa.n dil mera kahata hai baar baar | yes, my heart tells me again and again, |
| aapko pahale bhii kahii.n dekha hai... | I have seen you somewhere before. |
| raat khwaabo.n me.n beqaraarii me.n | At night, in my dreams, in my restless longing, |
| hosh me.n dilbar ya khumaarii me.n | when in my senses, darling, or while intoxicated, |
| dil mera kahata hai baar baar | my heart tells me again and again, |
| aapko pahale bhii kahii.n dekha hai... | I've seen you somewhere before... |

| kitnii hasiin yeh raat hai is raat me.n kya baat hai bahake ham... | How beautiful this night is! What strange wonder lies in it? I was staggered... |
| kiska hai kya nishaana kisne yahaa.n yeh jaana yaar sanam | Whose and what sign is it? Who here realized it was there, my love? |
| saamne aake nazare.n milaake aapse jaaneman... | Coming before you, sweetheart, meeting your eyes, |
| kuchh bhii na kaha kuchh kah bhii gaye... | I said nothing, but something was spoken... |

| bhole hai.n ham naadaan hai.n sab jaanke anjaan hai.n ham bekhabar... | I'm innocent, ignorant; knowing everyone, I'm still a stranger, clueless... |
| khaamosh hai zubaan par aa.nkhe.n to boltii hai dekh idhar | My tongue is silent, but my glance speaks; look at me. |
| kuchh sharmaake kuchh ghabaraake aapse jaaneman... | Growing bashful, growing anxious, darling, |
| kuchh bhii na kaha kuchh kah bhii gaye... | I said nothing at all, but something was spoken... |
| kuchh kahate kahate rah bhii gaye... | Something kept being spoken between us... |
| is mahafil me.n dil hii dil me.n aapse jaaneman... | In this crowd, in my heart of hearts, darling, |
| kuchh bhii na kaha kuchh kah bhii gaye... | I spoke nothing at all, but something was spoken... |
| kuchh kahate kahate rah bhii gaye... | Something kept being spoken between us... |
